trigger/puffer are going to take out your snails and hermits, what size tank, the cute little grouper will become a large fish eating machine.

We sort of see the snails and hermits as "feeder" so that's OK. The question is the 1-2" huma huma trigger fight with these other guys? How fast do they grow?
It is a 55 hex, as I said everything is small now. We realize that the grouper is not a long term inhabitent and we will need to get him a bigger tank or find him a good home.
We have a wet/dry, live sand and run ChemiPure
Levels:
PH= 8.1 and very steady
Alk = 10
Ammonia =0
Nitrite = 0
Nitrate = 5
Adding a Fuge with a deep sand base and Cheato this week

None of those are long time inhabitants.. That tank is too small for any of those fish.. Let alone all of them.. I had about a 8" Lunare Wrasse and all it would do all day long was swim laps in my 180..The humU will be fine.. Until it snaps and kills everything one day..

I had a 6 inch lunar in a 150. Mine also swam laps nonstop all day. Lunars also become very aggressive as they mature. Hex tanks just don't have the footprint necessary for any of the fish you have listed.
